Ready to Rock, Right Away

Multi-effects pedals can seem daunting with their rows of knobs and buttons, and while the Mustang has plenty of options, it's easy to get started with right out of the box. Scroll through the 100 presets by simply tapping the bank switches up or down. Individual effects are organized by type and can be turned on or off by engaging the bottom row of switches. Preset information is displayed on the bright blue LCD screen, and the nearby scroll knob and editing buttons will have you creating your own custom rigs in no time.

An Arsenal of Sounds at Your Feet

Running the gamut of amp tones, the Mustang offers players 13 amp models to choose from. Many of these are replicas of Fender models, from classics like the '65 Twin Reverb, to more contemporary models like the Super Sonic. Included among the Fender amps are models that recreate popular amps by other manufacturers. Adding to the sonic palette are 37 different effects. Each of these -- from chorus to wah to ring modulation -- is fully customizable. The Mustang's expression pedal makes gradually adjusting amp and effects parameters a breeze. Engaging the Mustang's standalone stomp box mode allows you to bypass amp models and color your own amp's natural tone using only the effects models.

Connect Almost Anywhere

Live players will likely never encounter problems hooking up the Mustang to a sound system. The unit includes two XLR and two 1/4" outputs, an effects loop, MIDI input/output, a headphones output, and 1/8" auxiliary input for jamming along with your favorite recordings. USB connectivity enables you to connect to a computer for recording, or integrate Fender's FUSE software for unlimited preset storage and incredibly deep tone tweaking.

Product Description

Fender introduces its first ever multi-effects unit in the form of the Mustang Floor-a versatile high-performance floor unit that delivers pro-level amp modeling, effects and artist preset sounds in a richly varied wealth of musical styles. And you don't have to be a tech expert to use the Mustang Floor-it's easy to use right out of the box.

A natural offshoot of our Mustang series amplifiers (basically a Mustang amp without the power amp and speaker), the Mustang Floor is designed for a variety of applications, only one of which is a great multi-effects unit for any basic guitar amp that puts more than three dozen digital effects at your feet. It's also a modeling preamp with low-impedance speaker-emulated outputs for running direct to a PA system, a modeling preamp with line-level outputs for use with a power amp and speakers, a silent practice system with stereo headphone output and auxiliary input perfect for playing along with an iPod or other media player, and a fantastic tone machine for direct-to-digital USB recording.

Features:

- 100 fully customizable presets with dozens of built-in effects, amplifier models and speaker simulation
- Full integration with Fender FUSE software for use with computer
- Dual-mode footswitch buttons for selecting presets in one mode and bypassing effects in second mode
- Tap/tune footswitch button for tapping in delay times

"Great Addition to High Gain Head + Amp Switcher"

Overall:
The Fender Mustang Floor has a unique feature that is not shared by any processors in this price range. It has a switchable loop AND midi out. The loop is at the beginning of the input chain, and while its position can't be configured, it does not go through another round of A/D D/A conversion like all the other processors.
Also, the input stage is like an A/B pedal -- the signal is always being sent to the "send" jack. When the loop is enabled, the signal is take from the return. So this device can be used to switch between two preamps -- one amps pre into the input, and put the other pre in the loop. You can then switch between them without any additional conversion or programming.
Of course, I am using a high-gain head (JSX) in the Mustang's loop in the "4 cable method", so I can turn the head on/off, and use the built in models. Many of the low-gain and mid-gain variety which complement a high gain head well. However, the "Metal 2000" amp model when A/Bed against the JSX head is very close in presentation and does not sound like a model. It sounds like a Dual Rec without the Peavey mid "honk", but the top end is very similar and the playability and dynamics are almost the same. The models, when run through a tube amp/speaker are very convincing.
The other thing is that there are global EQ options which apply to the amp sims ONLY, so it is easy make the amp sims sound like they are coming from the same source as your amps preamp - very nice matching feature, that lets you easily change amplification.
The FX are basic but very good. This processor does not have any bells or whistles, instead it just has very easy operation, and is more like a traditional pedalboard in operation. Also it does not look like a spaceship.
Drawbacks? It does not have a dedicated noise gate (they are linked to the amp sims) but earlier versions of the firmware have a way to use the noise suppressor with your amp head. There is no looper.
This is a great no-nonsense processor with some very strong amp models that work well with a live rig. It has the best low and mid gain models that I have heard . They are sensitive to input dynamics and volume control and the front end responds like a real amp. The high-gain models while not numerous are authentic.
